Connections with other artists

Influenced by In contrast with ‘follower of’, we speak of ‘influenced by’ when an artist was influenced outside the context of an educational setting or servile following. An artist can be influenced by several artists at once, or in succession. In addition, there may be question of a transition to a personal style which may demonstrate development.: Toorop, Charley

Subjects This field specifies the various subject categories or genres that constitute the oeuvre of the artist in question. The contents of this field are generally based more on the documentation available at the RKD than on the literature.: views of villages, figure, landscape (genre), nude figure, portrait, still life, flower piece

Medium/technique: oil paint
Product: design for book binding, cover or dust jacket

Art movement Here we mention the art movement to which an artist belonged. Many art movements have not yet been entered, because the content of this field is still under development.: Bergen School
